I woke up before Walker, so I gave him a kiss, and walked into the living room to get started on my computer. Soon after Walker wandered in here looking slightly dazed.

"It must be a really slow news day, they're showing Princess Diana's funeral."

"That's because it's 10 years to the day after she died," I replied.

"What, has it been that long?" he asked.

"Yup." I answered. "Where have you been?"

He continued.

"Well...I was still in a bit of a fog. I remember wondering 'oh shit. who died?' When I saw it was Princess Diana, I really wondered."

I was lauhing, by that time. What a shock to think someone had died a second time, or was it just a bad case of dega vu, but in a slightly different location?

Bridget Jean Aug 31, 2007, 10:10am UTC
That's funny!

I think there was a bit of deja vu for all of us. It is my article for today.

Poor Diana... how much happier her life would be if not for the shallow media seeking for sensations.

Love and hugs - S.

It's hard to believe it's been that long since she died.

I didn't find out when it originally happened until several days later because I'd just moved to college and didn't have my cable or computer set up yet. I only found out when I finally went to a computer lab and read an email from my British (future) mother in law!

LOL! Yeah, pour him a cup. A BIG cup!
Marianne R. Aug 31, 2007, 10:16am UTC
I too am surprised that it's already been 10 years.
Carolyn K. Aug 31, 2007, 10:30am UTC
Yep - he needs his coffee...
Lisa Frost Bailey Aug 31, 2007, 11:01am UTC
lol

Hard to believe when it happened, and hardly feel like 10 years already.
Jacqueline B. Aug 31, 2007, 11:36am UTC
That sounds like something I would do. Thanks for sharing this moment with us.
Michele Scercy Aug 31, 2007, 11:57am UTC
Wow. 10 years already. That went by fast.
Tricia C. Aug 31, 2007, 11:57am UTC
I remember that day as well.. I was out vacationing with my friends and heard it over the news while we were getting kids into bed for the night.
Cecile V. Aug 31, 2007, 12:11pm UTC
Well that was an interesting year for me - my best friend was killed by her husband, my Dad got a brain tumor and died 5 weeks later, and Princess Diana died. Do I remember? Yes, how could I forget.

That is funny!
Christine P. Aug 31, 2007, 3:10pm UTC
He needs a cup of espresso in the mornings! LOL!
Larry H. Aug 31, 2007, 3:17pm UTC
So every year they will bring her back to life for a day. Thanks for sharing..

COFFEE, gotta have it to think straight.
It's been 10 years already?????
Carol Roach Aug 31, 2007, 7:56pm UTC
doesn't seem like it was 10 years already, time does fly.
Brenda (square peg in a round hole) H. Aug 31, 2007, 8:25pm UTC
Coffee is the first thing I have before I even try to function. As for Diana, its hard to believe that its been so long.
Jerri H. Aug 31, 2007, 8:51pm UTC
Had a few of those days
Tonia, who hugs trees G. Sep 1, 2007, 2:04am UTC
Now that is funny - and unfortunately i can relate. Me minus coffee in the morning is not a good thing.
Walker Bennett, SF Author Sep 1, 2007, 9:46am UTC
My body normally gets up at least a half hour before my brain. My one daughter knew that first thing in the morning was the best time to hit me up for money.
Dorine H. Sep 1, 2007, 7:48pm UTC
LOL!
Dawn M Sep 2, 2007, 8:28am UTC
Hard to believe it's been so many years. What a terrible tragedy it was...
carol s. Sep 4, 2007, 8:48pm UTC
I always feel bad for her boys growing up without her. It doesn't seem like that long.

I'm pretty much the same way without my coffee in the morning.lol
donna h. Sep 4, 2007, 10:45pm UTC
lol Leah, Ihave had those kind of moments
MsTish J. Sep 8, 2007, 9:48pm UTC
I can relate
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Sep 12, 2007, 3:48am UTC
Oh my word, this is really funny and I can actually relate to this!
wiaka's just ... curious Sep 12, 2007, 4:07am UTC
I really liked her a lot. If more people were like her there would be less problems in this world. I am in a fog now, because it is so late, so I can understand this.

Blessings.
Dena Straughn Sep 12, 2007, 4:09am UTC
SILLY. CUTE.
Leah Christensen Sep 19, 2007, 2:47pm UTC
LOL MsTish. I think we all can, at times...especially our loved ones over 60! tehehe
